Our Copper Wire is not annealed for bonsai. The U.S. producer (Malin Company) assures us that it is annealed (to specs ASTMB3), but their process does not soften the wire enough to satisfy most bonsai enthusiasts. I find the smaller gauges can be used for bonsai, but the heavier guages are very difficult to use. If you would like to try our heavier gauged copper wire, you might want to anneal it yourself
